2019 Moccagatta Barbaresco

2019 Moccagatta Barbaresco stands apart, thanks to the pleasantly bold and intact quality of its bouquet that is laced with sweet cherry fruit, candied orange, blue flower, rusty ore and iodine. This unique expression offers an equal measure of sweetness, which is contrasted against savory tones, with impressive precision and balance. I highly recommend this classic Barbaresco from the talented team at Moccagatta. 93pts Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Responsible for some of the most elegant and age-worthy wines in the world, Nebbiolo, named for the ubiquitous autumnal fog (called nebbia in Italian), is the star variety of northern Italy’s Piedmont region. Grown throughout the area, as well as in the neighboring Valle d’Aosta and Valtellina, it reaches its highest potential in the Piedmontese villages of Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero. Outside of Italy, growers are still very much in the experimentation stage but some success has been achieved in parts of California. Somm Secret—If you’re new to Nebbiolo, start with a charming, wallet-friendly, early-drinking Langhe Nebbiolo or Nebbiolo d’Alba.

A wine that most perfectly conveys the spirit and essence of its place, Barbaresco is true reflection of terroir. Its star grape, like that in the neighboring Barolo region, is Nebbiolo. Four townships within the Barbaresco zone can produce Barbaresco: the actual village of Barbaresco, as well as Neive, Treiso and San Rocco Seno d’Elvio.

The Moccagatta estate, founded by the Minuto family in 1952, has taken outstanding qualitative leaps since the 1980’s. Adoption of barrel fermentation and aging in small French oak; severe pruning and grape thinning; employment of sophisticated cellar equipment and careful fermentation-maceration techniques: all this and more have poised Moccagatta at the forefront of quality winemaking in Barbaresco.
